Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Religion / Spirituality, Science, Touchy SubjectsOH! I finally get it. There is no such thing as evolution! I just never looked at the peanut butter. (The smugness in their misunderstanding of science is almost irritating.)

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Religion / Spirituality, Touchy SubjectsWe’ve seen the Virgin Mary under bridges (pictures), on toast ($28,000 worth of toast!), in fence posts, hospitals, a George Foreman grill, and stealing from Lady Godiva’s show – chocolate.
Her son has learned from his mother and made appearances in a tree, an ultrascan, hot chocolate, a beer glass, and playing foosball at your child’s college dorm. But some may find Jesus’ latest encore a bit disturbing. Jesus is in a dog’s butt.
I haven’t found the ebay auction for the dog yet, but I’m betting it goes for $888,111 and includes a neutering.
This post is going to get me in trouble isn’t it? I’ll blame this guy the giver the link!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Politics, Regional Politics (SE), Religion / Spirituality, Touchy SubjectsEarlier I posted that Arkansas does not allow Atheists to hold government office nor testify as witnesses. I went on to suggest that TN had been out done in their efforts to live backwards by legislating beliefs and morals. I was wrong. Per Article IX Section 2 of the TN State Constitution.
Section 2. No person who denies the being of God, or a future state of rewards
and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this
state. [Source]
As a matter of fact, religion [implied Christian] is so important to the state of Tennessee that Article IX Section 1 specifically excludes ministers from holding office since their duties are far more important.
Section 1. Whereas ministers of the Gospel are by their profession, dedicated
to God and the care of souls, and ought not to be diverted from the great
duties of their functions; therefore, no minister of the Gospel, or priest of any
denomination whatever, shall be eligible to a seat in either House of the Legislature. [Source]
Arkansas and Tennessee are in good company. Apparently, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas all require the believe of a supreme being and/or afterlife and in some cases you must specifically be a Christian to hold office or be a witness.
So, not only are Atheists going to Hell (a place they don’t believe exists) but they cannot hold one of the most corrupt jobs known to man for which they would go to Hell anyway.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Politics, Religion / Spirituality, Science, Technology, Touchy Subjects, United StatesCNN reports: Study: Earth ‘likely’ hottest in 2,000 years
The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the “recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia.”
A panel of top climate scientists told lawmakers that the Earth is heating up and that “human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming.”
This is Bush’s fault!
Other new research Thursday showed that global warming produced about half of the extra hurricane-fueled warmth in the North Atlantic in 2005, and natural cycles were a minor factor
Or maybe Jesus’…Because, it was cool when he was around.
The Bush administration has maintained that the threat is not severe enough to warrant new pollution controls…
Yes! It’s Bush’s fault!
The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization chartered by Congress to advise the government of scientific matters.
Ok then…it’s Jesus’ fault.
